MICROWEILY TY-16SV MANUAL LATHE

Technical Description

The MICROWEILY TY-16SV Manual Lathe is a robust engine lathe designed for precision turning, facing, and boring operations in repair shops, prototyping, and short-run production environments. Featuring a 16-inch swing and 40-inch centers, it accommodates medium to large workpieces, while the 9-inch swing over the cross slide allows for efficient tool clearance during complex machining tasks. Powered by a 7.5 horsepower motor, the lathe delivers ample torque for heavy-duty cutting, supporting a maximum spindle speed of 2,000 RPM for versatile material removal rates. The machine’s rigid cast iron bed ensures stability and vibration absorption, contributing to high accuracy and surface finish. The headstock houses a precision spindle with preloaded bearings, enabling reliable performance under axial and radial loads. The variable speed control allows operators to optimize cutting conditions for different materials and operations. The tailstock provides support for long shafts and facilitates drilling or reaming, while the compound slide and cross slide enable precise depth-of-cut adjustments. Graduated handwheels on the slides offer accurate feed control, typically in 0.001" or 0.01 mm increments, ensuring repeatable results. The lathe is equipped with standard tool holding options, including a 3-jaw universal chuck for quick setup and a 4-jaw independent chuck for precise centering of irregular shapes. Designed for manual operation, the TY-16SV emphasizes operator control and adaptability, making it suitable for a wide range of turning, grooving, threading, and parting operations. Its sturdy construction, combined with user-friendly features, makes it a reliable choice for general-purpose machining applications.
